Rav Huna bar Natan (Hebrew: הונא בר נתן, read as Rav Huna bereih deRav Natan (רב הונא בריה דרב נתן) was a Babylonian rabbi and exilarch, of the fifth and sixth generations of amoraim.

[5] Amemar permitted him to marry a woman from Mahoza, even though the lineage of people from there was not clearly known.

[6] Huna served as an Exilarch, or political leader, to the Jewish community in Babylonia.

He had access to the Sassanid Empire, and especially to the king Yazdegerd I, who ruled over Babylonia at the time, and was known for his kindness towards the Jewish community there.

Huna - together with his colleagues Rav Ashi, Amemar, and Mar Zutra - would often go to visit the royal court.
